    Research interests

    • Land use, production intensity and farming practices and their impact on farmland nature, especially on organic farms

    • Production systems and ecological functions of flora and insect fauna (natural enemies, pollinators) in agricultural landscapes.

    • Operationalising the concept of "eco-functional intensification": more knowledge/ha

    • Insect pest management on organic farms.

    • Integrated Pest Management and its practical implementation in Denmark

    I am course responsible for:

    I also teach these courses:
